No Question Is A Stupid Question
Legitimate questions I've asked myself over the past 2 months.
Why does Paul (senior consultant) take a 12 minute break roughly the same time as Suzie (the admin assistant for this floor) disappear?
Why do I feel a sense of helplessness at approximately 10pm when I know I'll be on site for at least another 3 hours and it's been the same routine for the past 10 days?
Why are all projects like this? Is it not possible to manage time slightly better at the beginning to prevent these mad hours?
Are these hours are making me earn less than the cleaner in the meeting room across the corridor?
If I went to the top of the building with my (annoying) colleague, and pushed him off, would I be lauded for having done the right thing?
How many slides does it take to say that the client needs to diversify into emerging markets, leveraging their partnerships with firms in those markets?
When will I get the chance to "explore" HR Beauty in the senior partners office?
If I sit really still and not say anything if asked a question, will people think I'm invisible? [This was towards the tail-end of an 80+ hour week, my mind was, well, in a place of it's own]
I wonder if you can beat a CFO to death with a 5 sheets of paper which have spreadsheet figures printed on them.
At what point will I stop caring about how Porter's doesn't apply in this case and want to shoot myself? [At approx 21.27 on day 2 of the engagement]
Can I expense 100 tins of tuna and get away with it? [Ultimately, yes!]
